I suppose you must be false media.
Look, you guys are the ones who have to get a contract. So do the American pilots, along with eventually everyone else.
Reality check: how strong are the pilots unity at AS to get that contract? (Same goes for the other carriers)
As a LUS guy, I think you should probably do more listening and less talking. These AS/VX pilots have done a remarkable job of keeping calm, civil, and unified through this process. I suspect this professionalism will serve them well as they try to fix the arbitration results of their combined contract.
The LUS seniority integration cost the pilot profession millions. That cruddy contract that you guys lived under for, what, a decade? kept downward pressure on wages and work rules for the rest of the industry thanks to the childish infighting.
My respect to the AS/VX pilots on here and in the cockpits I humbly ride in. You’ve been class acts, and it will pay dividends coming up.
